The early spring sun beat down on the island, much to Steven's annoyance. The sign in the air that it was going to get hotter and hotter in the months to come, and while Steven could cool himself off to some extent with his powers he didn't take much pleasure in doing so. It was the early afternoon, so at least the sun wasn't as high in the sky as it could have been a couple hours earlier but it certainly made the walk from his dorm to downtown worse then it could have been in his mind.
As one month ended and another began, it meant that Steven had finally got a little bit of money again and as normal it was likely going to be spent on stuff he shouldn't buy... More books. Between his insatiable habit of reading and his multitude of mundane addictions, most of his money was spent on stuff that wasn't really essential. That didn't stop him as he pushed open the door to the small book shop.
A traditional doorbell rang out as the door opened and swung closed slowly behind Steven and he started to explore. A little while later, Steven had a small pile of books balanced badly on one arm as he reached out with his other hand to grab yet another book. However as he did, he lost balance of the books on his arm and lurched forward. Swing his second arm back to try and catch himself, he failed as he collided into someone the books going tumbling to the floor.
